Several UK news outlets, including Brentwood Live and County Times, reported that Somerville has refused to commit to devolving new powers to Scottish councils.
This position was echoed in reports from Hillingdon Times, North Somerset Times, Wilts Glos Standard, and Dumbarton Reporter, all highlighting Somerville's reluctance to grant further devolved authority.
The refusal to commit suggests ongoing debate about the extent of local government powers in Scotland, with no new agreements reached at this time.
